Locate your customers

No matter what your area of expertise may be, if you can define your potential clients and identify where to find them, it will be easier to get your product in their hands.

How to do it: If your town has an online message board, check groups and discussion threads for customers or use physical bulletin boards at coffee houses and community centers. Meetup.com can help you reach people with mutual interests. Search Google Groups for a community related to your product. Designers can bid for projects at 99designs.com. Sell your administrative, technical or creative services to clients on elance.com and guru.com.
